Connection error: renew WSUS certificate

13 novembre 2023 à 11:03

Admins who work with WSUS regularly are used to connection issues of the MMC console. However, it is not clear from the error message what the cause of these problems could be. One possible reason is an expired certificate. After renewing it, you assign it to the WSUS website. For Server Core, you can do this using PowerShell.

If you're looking to delve into Microsoft 365 management, there are a few options available. Some components offer free, time-limited trial versions, and in the case of Azure AD, there's a stripped-down free edition. Alternatively, Microsoft provides a developer license with a fully-featured subscription to M365 E5.

Organizations can dictate the appearance of the Windows taskbar for all computers in the network. This primarily involves pinning important applications. To do this, admins configure the apps for the taskbar in an XML file. This file can then be distributed to the end devices via GPO or Microsoft Intune.

Before deploying to clients, you should update a Windows image with the latest patches and customize it to meet their needs. Depending on the deployment method, you need to provide the WIM archive on a bootable ISO file. This can be created using the tools from the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).

If Windows 11 Copilot is not working

16 février 2024 à 14:17
In a recent blog article, we discussed enabling or disabling Windows Copilot in Windows and Edge. One of the most common problems reported by end users is the fact that Windows 11 Copilot is not available or not working. In this blog article, I will go through various issues you might face and explain how to solve them.

Configure Windows 11 Start menu with Group Policy

21 février 2024 à 13:02
One of the most noticeable innovations of Windows 11 is the redesigned Start menu. This changes not only its appearance but also its technical foundations. However, the settings in the Group Policy have remained mainly the same, so it is unclear which ones still apply.

A simple Ansible roles example

26 février 2024 à 14:08
If you want to deploy a web server like Apache or Nginx with Ansible, you can create a playbook outlining the installation and configuration steps. This approach works well for a single web server but can become repetitive and time-consuming if you need to deploy many servers. To streamline the process, you can use Ansible roles to avoid duplicating tasks and make deployment more efficient. To introduce the concept, this post provides a simple example of using Ansible roles.

Ansible conditionals and loops

11 mars 2024 à 10:24
An Ansible loop allows you to repeat a task or a set of tasks multiple times with different values, reducing code duplication and making playbooks more concise and maintainable. Instead of writing the same task multiple times with slight variations, you can use loops to iterate over a list of items and perform the task(s) accordingly. A conditional controls the flow of tasks based on specific conditions or criteria within playbooks. Sometimes, you must install software only on specific operating systems or if certain dependencies are met. Conditionals allow you to control the execution of tasks based on these conditions, ensuring your playbooks adapt to different environments and avoid unnecessary actions. In this tutorial, I will provide simple examples of using loops and conditionals in Ansible.

Export Windows 11 Start layout and deploy it without Group Policy

20 mars 2024 à 14:27
If you want to pin the same program icons to the Start menu of many computers, you can export a reference configuration in JSON format and distribute it to the target PCs on the network. However, in Windows 11, this method no longer works when using Group Policy. If you don't have an MDM solution, two workarounds exist.
